More on the speaker and the performers :



CARL. W. ERNST, the Zachary Smith Professor of Religion at the University

of North

Carolina, Chapel Hill, is widely regarded as the leading academic

authority in America today on Persian and South Asian Sufism. His books

include the bestsellingThe Shambhala Guide to Sufism (1997); Sufi Martyrs

of Love (2002); Ruzbehan Baqli (1995) and Words of Ecstasy in Sufism

(1985).



On this special evening, AMIR VAHAB and his ensemble will perform songs

selected from the poetry of the great Sufi Masters Rumi and Hafez as well

as other legendary poets. A profound calling from the heart, these songs

invite the listener to delve deep within to the universal silence that

connects us all. The ensemble will also perform lively folk and

traditional music from Persian, Kurdish, Turkish and other sources,

featuring the ethereal sounding Ney (mystical reed flute), Tanbur (ancient

three-stringed long-necked lute), Chogur (eight-stringed long neck lute),

Daf (large frame drum associated with Sufi rituals), Barbat (Persian lute

with a fretless short neck) and Tombak (Persian goblet drum). The concert

concludes with a dynamic drumming performance that echoes the universal

heartbeat of existence. (Visit http://tanbour.org/video.htm for a sample

of Amir on his own, and click on the links for more information about him

and his school for traditional Persian music in NYC.)



Also performing with Amir (Tanbur, Chogur, Ney) will be:

Mitra (Vocals)

Farnaz (Dohol)

Yvette (Daf)

Ron (Tombak)



Both events are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and to be held at TRAYES HALL,
